Title: How to make a bootable OS X 10.11 El Capitan installer drive Post by: HCK on October 02, 2015, 03:00:13 am How to make a bootable OS X 10.11 El Capitan installer drive
<article> <section class="page"> <p>Editor’s note: We've updated this guide for the release version of El Capitan (OS X 10.11), which was released on September 30, 2015.</p><p>When OS X shipped on a DVD a good number of years ago, you always had the convenience of a bootable installer—an OS X installer that could be used to boot your Mac if its own drive was having problems. But to install or reinstall a recent version of OS X, you must either download a non-bootable installer from the Mac App Store or (via OS X’s invisible, bootable recovery partition (http://www.macworld.com/article/2602951/mac-gems-recovery-partition-creator-adds-os-x-recovery-to-any-drive.html)) download 6GB of installer data from Apple’s servers during the installation process. In other words, you no longer have the same safety net or convenience.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2981585/operating-systems/how-to-make-a-bootable-os-x-10-11-el-capitan-installer-drive.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: How to make a bootable OS X 10.11 El Capitan installer drive (http://www.macworld.com/article/2981585/operating-systems/how-to-make-a-bootable-os-x-10-11-el-capitan-installer-drive.html#tk.rss_all) |
